This site represents a major University effort to help keep the campus and the Clarksville-Montgomery County community safe, and we could use your help to make sure this effort continues to run smoothly. We received strong campus support early in this venture, but as the semester end approaches, fewer people have signed up to help us at this site.

As of April 5, all adults 18+ are eligible to receive the vaccine in Montgomery County.
